If I remember correctly, it's .32 or something very close.
I think NSX shares the same drag coefficient as the R also.

Funny, Lex LS430 is .25.

I believe the coefficient of drag is calculated from the total car shape and not just the front of the car.

The coefficient of drag is calculated by measuring the boundary layer separation from the object (at least that's how I did it with an airfoil in a wind tunnel). It seems irrelevant to calculate it at the front of the car since the greatest amount of boundary separation would be at the rear of the car.
